Note: Club information changes quickly. While effort is made to make sure this list is accu-rate, look at this list as more of a means to display the variety of clubs available at
Forsyth Tech rather than a definitive guide.
If something interests you, ask questions and explore to find more information. The
Student Activities Office in Tec 124 is a great place to begin. Also look for represent-atives from clubs at events throughout the school year, beginning with Constitution Day
in September.
